What is the “Internet Heroes” program
It is a free educational program that teaches children to navigate the internet safely, confidently and responsibly. Through interactive lessons, the Interland game and guides for teachers and parents, children learn how to recognize online dangers and how to make smart digital decisions.
Internet Heroes covers everything that families and teachers need to know about online safety.

The statistics are alarming:
➡️ 7 in 10 children go online daily without supervision
➡️ 60% of students admit they have been victims of cyberbullying
➡️ 95% of children do not talk to their parents about negative online experiences
➡️ Artificial intelligence generates fraud and manipulation that is harder to detect (deepfakes, cloned voices, fake conversations)
In a world dominated by screens and artificial intelligence, children need digital education more than ever.
In a digital world where children are increasingly exposed to online risks, the “Internet Heroes” program comes to their aid. Together, we are building a generation that knows how to use the internet responsibly and courageously. And the testimonials of teachers, students and parents show that these lessons change not only the hours at school, but also children’s everyday lives.

Animated lessons for children
Copiii învață cel mai bine atunci când informația este prezentată prin povești și personaje pe care le iubesc.
De aceea, am creat o serie de materiale video animate, interactive și foarte ușor de înțeles, prin care cei mici descoperă:
✨ Regulile de siguranță online – explicate simplu, fără să îi sperii
✨ Cum recunosc pericolele – situații concrete din viața lor digitală
✨ Cum își protejează datele – parole, informații personale, fotografii
✨Ce fac când sunt contactați de necunoscuți – răspunsuri clare și concrete
✨ Cum cer ajutor – când, cui și cum să vorbească cu adulții de încredere

Temele abordate
Fii inteligent pe internet
Distribuie cu prudență
Veștile bune (și rele) circulă repede în mediul online, și deodată, copiii se pot trezi în situații dificile care au consecințe pe termen lung. Soluția? Să învețe cum să împărtășească informații cu cei pe care îi cunosc și cu cei pe care nu îi cunosc.
Fii alert pe internet
Nu te lăsa păcălit
Este important să-i ajutăm pe copii să devină conștienți de faptul că oamenii și situațiile întâlnite în mediul online nu sunt întotdeauna ceea ce par. A învăța să faci diferența între ceea ce este real și ceea ce este fals este o lecție importantă a siguranței online.
Fii puternic pe internet
Securizează-ți secretele
Confidențialitatea și securitatea personală sunt la fel de importante online pe cât sunt offline. Protejarea informațiilor valoroase îi ajută pe copii să evite deteriorarea dispozitivelor, reputației și relațiilor.
Fii amabil pe internet
E cool să fii amabil
Internetul este un amplificator puternic care poate fi folosit pentru a răspândi pozitivitate sau negativitate. Copiii pot urma calea pozitivă aplicând conceptul „tratează-i pe ceilalți așa cum ți-ar plăcea să fii tratat” în toate acțiunile lor online. Astfel, creează un impact pozitiv pentru ceilalți și descurajează comportamentul de bullying.
Fii curajos pe internet
When in doubt, ask
A lesson that applies to any type of digital encounter: when children meet something suspicious, they should feel comfortable discussing it with a trusted adult. Adults can support this behavior by fostering open communication at home and in the classroom.
Students' Voice
I am a student and I want to share my story anonymously
The internet is huge and fun, but it can also be scary when you don't have answers to your questions about online safety.
We talk to teachers and parents about what can happen online and how they can offer solutions to students. Online safety starts with relevant advice.
Have you had an incident online and need support or want to inspire other students to say stop to online abuse? We can be your voice! Tell us anonymously what happened and we will publish the message or response on our social networks without revealing your identity.

Hărțuirea online și cum poate fi controlată
Dramele copiilor care pică în provocările internetului.
În prezent mii de copiii din toată țara sunt încurajați să utilizeze internetul pentru a studia, iar cu toate acestea, educația cu privire la securitatea digitală pare că este complet ignorată de sistemul educațional.
